Story
I adopted Luna from Calling All Cats Rescue in 2020. Luna is an amazing cat. She was born without retinas, so she has been completely blind for her entire life, but once she acclimates to her surroundings, you wouldn't even know it. Her eyes are really cute and her pupils are always dilated which makes her look excited. She also has a long tail that she uses for balance almost as a walking stick. She loves attention, being pet, playing with toys that rattle and being held/laying in your lap. She is vocal and has a cute meow when she's hungry or wants a pet. Because she is blind, she will need a loving home that is comfortable with not moving around furniture frequently. She would also be better served as the only pet in the household, as she gets territorial around my other 2 cats and tries to hog all of the attention. She prefers pets from the top of the head to the middle of her back and does not like pets around her tail or her belly out of fear.

Story
Meet Mike! Mike is a GORGEOUS marbled tabby who we believe (with his HUGE ears, wide nose, super-short fur, wedge-shaped head, and exceptional intellect) is an Oriental Shorthair mix. This striking boy boasts an elegant coat of black and gray swirls and mesmerizing gold-green eyes. His sleek, velvety fur, large ears, and wild, exotic look make him seem like he belongs on the savanna. When it comes to personality, he's the perfect blend of laid-back charm and playful mischief. Incredibly affectionate and gentle, he’s happiest when nestled nearby, next to you in bed, or finding some odd perch to curl up on! He enjoys being on you, but only on his terms; too much holding isn't his style. His adorable sleeping habits have earned him the “Funniest Sleeper Award”—you never know where or in what pose you'll find him next! A curious soul with a love for adventure, he can’t resist exploring his surroundings. Knick-knacks beware—he’s got a knack for testing how far he can swat things across the room in his effort to help you keep your surfaces clutter-free. When he's not batting objects off tables, you'll find him fixated on the TV, watching from just two inches away. Though easy-going and passive, he thrives on stimulation and play, needing a variety of toys and plenty of attention to stay entertained. Speaking of toys, with the right ones, he'll entertain himself for quite a while. He enjoys companionship, and hates being left alone for long—so if you're often out, a second furry friend might be just the thing. With Mike's great temperament, we're certain he will make an ideal companion, especially for families who understand his sensitivity and need for interaction. Loyal, sociable, playful, and affectionate, this elegant beauty is not just a showstopper but a loving lap warmer! Mike is child, cat, and dog friemdly, up-to-date with all vaccines, neutered, dewormed, microchiped, and FIV/FeLV negative. Apply to adopt this special boy today!

Story
Jack is a good cat. He has not been fixed and he has had a rabies shot in May. But with my budget I could not afford much else. But he is clean happy and healthy plus friendly. My economic status is getting harder for me to care for Jack the way he should be. I got Jack as a gift last June when he was two and a half months old. I give him baths and he loves to cuddle and temptations treats “ Catnip cheese and chicken. Talks a lot too. Jack will be 20 months December 4th.

Story
My name is Ben and I was born on 4/24/2024 outside of the house of my mom. I was rescued by her because my birth mom wasn’t able to feed me. I was fed by my mom with a bottle since I was 2 weeks old. I’m a nice personality kitten who loves to play games with siblings. I’m trained on the litter robot (not afraid of it) and the litter box too. I have my nails trimmed regularly so I don’t scratch you. I’m trained not to bite while playing with my friends. Or my mom’s hand. I’m cleaned and protected from fleas and other diseases (Revolution Plus - medication. Kill fleas before they lay eggs, kill ticks for a full month, prevent heartworm disease and treat and control roundworms, hookworms and ear mites). I love to cuddle and watch the outside world through the window. And I love to sleep of course. My favorite thing is to play hokey with a bottle cup that my mom gives me after she empty the bottles of water. So fun!

Meet Newton and his siblings Darwin, Curie, Einstein & Goodall! If you are interested in our kittens and would like to arrange the meet and greet at fosters homes, please complete the adoption application using the following link (copy & paste it into your browser) https://form.jotform.com/82828565257166 or text us for more info at (908) 986-2505 Our cats and kittens are allowed to be adopted anywhere in NYC/NJ/Long Island. Please note, all our kittens under 6 months old are available in pairs only or to the home with another cat/cat friendly dog. Bonded pairs will not be split up. Newton and his siblings are now accepting the adoption application! You may ask how we came up with these names. And the answer is very simple- these 5 adorable siblings lost their mother and they were picked up by the home owner of the yard they were roaming around in distress looking for their mommy. The home owner is a science teacher and without a doubt he gave them the perfect names! These kittens were a little shy, but with love and care they warmed out and absolutely love their new inside life. They are available for adoption in pairs or they can be adopted separately to the home with another playful cat or cat friendly dog.
